Zhongli returned to Fanan's side, looking around but not knowing what to get. He could only use his Geo elemental power to cut off a small lock of Fanan's hair, wrapping part of it in Geo to ensure it wouldn't fly around while they were underwater, and then gave the hair to Xiao.
"Thank you, Lord Zhongli." After saying that, Xiao immediately swam back. When Zhongli saw the pure black fish tail, he was slightly shocked, but he didn't think much of it and returned to the cabin to continue his health regimen.
Well, as long as Xiao is alright, and so is that tracer friend.
Wendy? Ha, Zhongli can't guarantee anything about the others, but when it comes to escaping, Wendy is definitely the fastest, so there's no need to worry about him too much.
Xiao returned to the shop with practiced ease and handed the hair of the woman to the mermaid. The woman waved her hand incessantly and chanted incantations. Suddenly, a map appeared in Xiao's mind, with many yellow dots on it.
"That's it." The mermaid waved her hand, shooing people away.
Xiao was in a bad mood after being chased away for the second time, but he wouldn't stay there for long and swam back to the palace.
Wendy continued singing, and a group of fish and some mermaids had unknowingly gathered around her, although the mermaids were all outside the door and didn't directly affect Wendy. Xiao's face darkened, and he pushed the door open.
"Huh? You're back? Eh?" Wendy stopped singing. When she saw Xiao return, she knew that things had been taken care of. But Xiao actually hugged her directly, his fishtail unconsciously wrapping around hers. Her sensitive spot was touched, and Wendy's face turned red instantly.
Xiao gave the mermaids outside the door a look, and they immediately scattered and fled. However, one of the mermaids closed the door with a wicked grin.
"What's wrong?" Wendy's voice trembled. Xiao panicked when he saw Wendy's appearance. In the past, he would at most hold Wendy's hand or touch her, and then his face would turn bright red and he would wish to find a crack to crawl into when he thought about it afterwards.
However, this was the first time he had ever done something so daring, which startled Xiao so much that he immediately sprang into action and hid in the distance.
Wendy: ?
"Ahem, it's nothing." Xiao organized his thoughts and said, "We've found the general location of the soul of Fanan, but..." Xiao hesitated, and Wendy tilted her head slightly: "Hmm?" "However, we need to go deeper into the sea." Xiao said, "I'll go."
Wendy shook her head: "That won't do. If we're going, we'll all go together."
Suddenly, the tracer slammed the door open, holding a merman in his hand. The merman kept trying to get closer to the tracer, shouting things like, "Wife, scold me a few more times."
"Can't you do anything about this? Which idiot did this disgusting thing?" The Tracker threw the merman off the ship and cursed. "I want to get back to the ship right now. I don't want to stay here anymore." As soon as the Tracker threw the merman off the ship, the merman immediately clung to him, scaring the Tracker so much that he kept pushing the merman away with both hands.
“Go find the leader,” Xiao said. The tracer suddenly understood and cursed, “I’m so angry at this idiot, ugh, so annoying.” He went to find the mermaid leader while cursing.
"Let's go, we should go." Xiao immediately swam out, and Wendy followed.
At the mermaid leader's place, the tracer told the leader what the merman had done, and even called the merman a fool. The leader was a little embarrassed, as not only was one of his subordinates a lecherous man, but he had also made advances on his distinguished guest.
But! The leader glanced discreetly at the spell he had cast on this guest. Hmm, his judgment was indeed excellent; this guest possessed an air of nobility, though not very pronounced. Moreover, his frame was rather small, making him suitable for women's clothing.
"What are you looking at me for!" The Seeker, not being oblivious to the leader's gaze, immediately retorted. Wendy and Xiao then swam out. Wendy walked up to the leader first and said, "We'll take our leave now; we've found it." "Very well, the Mermaid City-State welcomes you anytime," the leader said.
Wendy pulled the still-cursing Pursuer away, and the three of them returned to the ship first.
Sure enough, as soon as they got on the ship, the three of them immediately disappeared from their mermaid outfits. The Pursuer absolutely refused to go back into the sea. Wendy and Xiao rested on the ship for a while and shared some information with Zhongli. Zhongli gave the two of them a shield, and as soon as Wendy and Xiao went into the sea, they transformed back into their mermaid outfits.
This time, we're heading to the deepest part of the ocean, where the vengeful spirits of shipwrecked sailors are said to dwell, as well as the most chaotic place. Strangely enough, the gravity there is the same as on land.
Having evaded attacks from various sea monsters, Wendy and Xiao changed back into their original attire as soon as they arrived at their destination. A large amount of air rushed into their nasal cavities, but they would blow bubbles when they spoke, which was really strange.
"Yes, I can feel it." Xiao's expression turned somewhat grim. The aroma of alcohol wafted from the bar. Although Wendy really wanted to drink, finding Fanan's soul was the most important thing right now.
After winding their way through the streets, the two arrived at a large cemetery. There were many tombstones, each unique in appearance. The place was deserted and quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight...
"Watch out." Xiao and Pu Yuan appeared on their hands and flashed behind Wendy. Behind them, a monster appeared, holding bombs in its hands. The monster was transparent, but after Xiao and Pu Yuan deflected the bombs, it revealed its form. Although it looked like a human, its whole body was wrapped in bandages, with only two empty eye sockets showing.
Then, when Wendy and Pu Yuan stabbed each other, they didn't kill the monster instantly. Instead, the monster returned to its stealth state and they couldn't see each other. Wendy and Xiao stood back to back, not knowing when the monster would attack them.
However, after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement. Just as Wendy was about to relax, Xiao and Pu Yuan suddenly stabbed out. It turned out that the monster was holding two bombs in its hands again. Xiao stabbed one of the bombs. The bomb exploded, and a pile of powder was blown out. The monster was also caught off guard by the explosion and revealed its form in an instant.
Xiao seized the opportunity to attack, and Wendy followed up with his bow and arrow, finally killing the monster. Just as the two were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Thank you." "Who is it?" Xiao immediately assumed a fighting stance.
